claude-bot-andresmgsl b3b9830700 docs: a post-merge acceptance criterion rides Refs #N — triage closes on the evidence
Merging #143 auto-closed #137 with a post-merge criterion unmet: the PR
carried Closes #137 as doctrine required, the criterion could only be
checked after the merge, and the contract was silent on the disagreement
between GitHub's keyword and the pipeline's close authority — the same
disagreement the cross-repo carve-out already resolved, one case over.

BUILDER.md gains the second exception beside the first: when the issue
body marks a criterion post-merge, the same-repo PR uses Refs #N and
triage closes by hand on the evidence. TRIAGE.md makes the criterion
carry its own mechanism; REVIEWER.md lists Refs #N as a spec pointer and
stops treating the reference-only PR as a defect; CONTRIBUTING.md points
at the one home instead of restating. No machinery, no label (#151 D5).

Closes #151

### Changed
- Doctrine names the second `Closes #N` exception: a same-repo PR whose
authorizing issue marks an acceptance criterion post-merge uses `Refs #N`,
and triage closes the issue by hand on the evidence — merging #143
auto-closed #137 with exactly such a criterion unmet, and no role had been
told otherwise. TRIAGE.md now requires a post-merge criterion to carry its
own mechanism (post-merge, triage closes, `Refs #N`), REVIEWER.md lists
`Refs #N` beside `Closes #N` and `Part of <owner>/<repo>#N` and stops
treating the reference-only PR as a defect, and CONTRIBUTING.md points at
BUILDER.md as the rule's one home (#151).
